Pathways
"Wander. Wonder. Discover"
"Pathways" is an immersive art exhibit that celebrates the infinite ways we move through the world—and how the world moves through us.
“Pathways” is an invitation to explore the many routes—seen and unseen—that shape our lives. This exhibit centers on the literal, emotional, symbolic, and imagined paths that connect, divide, guide, or meander. From winding trails and city streets to personal transformation and inner journeys, artists are encouraged to interpret "Pathways" in their own unique way.
What stories unfold along a well-worn road? What truths emerge on the path not taken? Where do we go when the path disappears?
We encourage submissions that capture:
✅ Nature & Journey-Inspired Themes
✅ Mystical & Conceptual Takes
✅ Emotional or Philosophical Angles
✅ Urban & Manmade Perceptions
All mediums are welcome. Apply now and let your art show your Pathways!
